Driver information
Symbols in instrument cluster
The warning and indicator lamps indicate various warnings, faults or certain functions. Some
warning and indicator lamps light up when the ignition is switched on and must go out once the
engine is running or the vehicle is in motion.
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, symbols may be displayed in the instrument cluster
instead of warning lamps.

The proactive occupant protection system is an assistance system that initiates measures to protect
vehicle occupants in dangerous situations. However, the system cannot prevent a collision.
The full range of functions of the proactive occupant protection system will be available only if the
function has been activated in the Infotainment system, no special driving profile has been selected
and there are no malfunctions Driving profile selecFunction

Basic functions
Depending on country-specific legal requirements and also on the vehicle equipment, the following
functions may be initiated, either individually or jointly, in critical situations (e.g. emergency braking
or in the case of oversteering or understeering) as of a speed of approximately 30 km/h (19 mph):
Reversible tensioning of the fastened front seat belts.
Depending on the critical driving situation, the seat belts can be tensioned separately or together.

limits. The system can trigger the proactive occupant protection system if it detects a probable
collision or initiates strong braking.
Function limitations
The proactive occupant protection system will not be available, or will be available only to a limited
extent, in the following situations:
If there is a fault in the ESC, belt tensioner Seat beltsor airbag control unit Airbag system

WARNING
The intelligent technology of the proactive occupant protection system cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded
by the proactive occupant protection system tempt you into taking any risks when driving. The
system cannot prevent a collision. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the
driver.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
The system cannot detect objects in all situations.
The proactive occupant protection system does not react to people, animals, objects crossing in
front of the vehicle, or objects which are hard to detect.

In an emergency
Making you and your vehicle safe
Observe any legislation concerning the safety of a broken-down vehicle. For example, many
countries stipulate that you have to switch on the hazard warning lights and wear a high-visibility
waistcoat Equipment for an emergency
Checklist
To ensure your own safety and that of your passengers, carry out the following actions in the
specified order

Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away from moving traffic and on a suitable surface .

Switch on the hazard warning lights using the button Centre console.

Switch on the electronic parking brake Electronic parking brake.

Select the neutral position Manual gearbox: selecting a gear or move the selector lever to P position
DSG

indicate a change in direction or lane change by operating the turn signal. The hazard warning lights
will be interrupted temporarily.
Switch on the hazard warning lights, e.g. in the following situations:
When traffic ahead suddenly starts moving more slowly or you reach the tail end of a traffic jam to
warn vehicles behind you.
There is an emergency situation.
The vehicle has broken down.
When tow-starting or towing.
Always follow local regulations on the use of the hazard warning lights.
If the hazard warning lights are not working, you must use an alternative method of drawing
attention to the broken-down vehicle. This method must comply with traffic legislation.

WARNING
Any broken-down vehicle poses a high accident risk for the vehicle occupants and for other road
users.
Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic.
Switch on the hazard warning lights.
Never leave other persons alone in the vehicle, particularly children or people requiring assistance.
This applies in particular when the doors are locked. People locked in the vehicle may be subjected
to very high or very low temperatures.

WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and severe injuries.
Always follow the instructions in the checklist and observe the general safety procedures.

WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires and serious injuries.
Park the vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable
material underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass, fuel.

When pushing the vehicle by hand, do not press on the tail light clusters, the rear spoiler or large
panels. This could damage the vehicle and the rear spoiler could become detached.

The 12-volt vehicle battery will discharge if the hazard warning lights are left on over a long period of
time even when the ignition is switched off.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the brake lights flash rapidly if you brake sharply or initiate full
braking at a speed of more than 80 km/h (50 mph). This is a particularly effective way of attracting
the attention of vehicles behind you. If you then continue to brake, the hazard warning lights will be
switched on automatically at speeds under approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). Once you start to
accelerate, the hazard warning lights will switch off again automatically.

call number 112 will be used to conduct an emergency call. In this case, only a voice-based
connection is established. No data will be transmitted, e.g. regarding the vehicle or its location.
The following circumstances may restrict access to the emergency call service and lead to the call
being forwarded to the 112 emergency number:
Your current emergency call location is in an area with no or insufficient mobile communications and
GPS reception. This can also include tunnels, streets with tall buildings, garages, underpasses,
mountains and valleys.
You are in an area with sufficient mobile communications and GPS reception but the
telecommunications provider's mobile network is not available.
The emergency call service is prohibited by law in some countries.
There is no valid licence for using the emergency call service.
